What travellers really think about STA Travel insurance
Positively Biblical floods of word of mouth concerning STA Travel insurance seem to be pouring forth at the moment, and there are always call-outs for more.
In The Student Room, CocoBean has been recommending their deals for single, simple journeys:
You can get pretty cheap insurance from STA travel where you can get insured for single trips which I found useful… This will leave you with more money for the fun part!!
And in this Lonely Planet thread about travel laptops, rakesh is considering investing in a new MacBook; although he’s worried ‘how much it will get beat up and the chance that it will get stolen’, thankfully ‘my STA Travel Insurance covers laptop/electronic theft.’
But the most frequent questions and comments relate to STA’s reputation for offering particularly comprehensive insurance, covering adventurous and even dangerous activities and countries that other agencies won’t touch. In this Lonely Planet thread, eyecreate asks:
I found that a company through STA travel do a policy which covers me upto a 125cc bike with crash helmet without a UK bike license - im going to email them as the price seemed to good to be true. Have you heard good or bad reports on using STA insurance?
In a similar vein, Lonely Planet member moore07 explains:
Hey guys I’m going on a 11 month gap year and have been quoted over £300 by STA Travel for the full insurance. I am planning on doing a wide range of dangerous activities and so I will need good insurance. Any suggestions on some good deals or good companies?
